Former Utah State linebacker Bobby Wagner has had plenty of big games during his seven-year NFL career with Seattle, but he may have bested himself on Sunday during the Seahawks’ 43-16 win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Wagner recorded a statistic in every defensive category in the blowout win. The line read: a team-leading 12 total tackles, including eight solo stops, a 9-yard sack, two tackles for loss, two quarterback hurries, one interception, two pass deflections, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
The highlight was Wagner’s interception, a 98-yard pick-six, longest in team history, near the end of the game when he stepped in front of a Nick Mullens pass near the goal line and raced up the far sideline untouched.
